Dainty, A Schnitzelburg Street Game

DAINTY

A SCHNITZELBURG STREET GAME

Introduced to Louisville in 1800 
by German immigrants, Dainty is 
played with a 5" stick, and a 3' 
stick. The 5" stick is place on 
the ground, hit wit the longer, 
the hit, airborne, as far as 
possible. Game revived in 1971 by 
George Hauck & Charles Vettiner. 
The World Championship Dainty 
Contest is celebrated each July.

Presented by the Friends of Schnitzelburg.
